If anything, the company's new Spectre x360 laptop, announced on the eve of Mobile World Congress, seems intent on proving HP will be as frisky as ever once its PC and printer division is pushed off the HP lifeboat this summer.Gordon Mah UngMon, 02 Mar 2015 01:39:35 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/569207/hands-on-hp-spectre-x360-laptop-veritable-hp-microsoft-collaboration/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Stream 8 tablet with Windows 8.1http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/stream-8/566758/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedYou have to hand it to HP: it has come out with a consumer tablet device that’s styled more for a business crowd. For some of us, that’s a good thing, though it will most likely fall into the ‘looks boring’ category for many others. Regardless of what you think of its styling, it’s a small device that can be held in one hand, yet it’s a complete Windows 8.1 system.Elias PlastirasThu, 19 Feb 2015 14:58:57 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/stream-8/566758/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHands-on with the HP Sprout, an imaging powerhouse built into a touch-friendly PChttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/565436/hands-on-hp-sprout-an-imaging-powerhouse-built-into-touch-friendly-pc/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThe Sprout, HP's innovative new PC, towered above my desk.

That's right: holograms--possibly the biggest surprise from Wednesday's the Windows 10 consumer preview unveiling.Melissa RiofrioThu, 22 Jan 2015 07:40:17 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/564458/microsoft-leaps-into-3d-computing-windows-holographic-hololens/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Envy X2 Notebook PChttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/envy-x2/564168/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThere's a strangeness to the HP Envy X2 (15-c001tu) that's hard to overcome. This mostly comes from its detachable keyboard, which features a touchpad on the right side, rather than below the keys. But there are other things, such as the size of the tablet itself, which is 15.6 inches, and the design, which looks a little like a novelty HTC smartphone (once someone in the office pointed that out to us, we couldn't stop seeing it).Elias PlastirasMon, 19 Jan 2015 12:45:26 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/envy-x2/564168/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIn Pictures: Best of CES 2015http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/slideshow/563641/pictures-best-ces-2015/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThe best and most noteworthy products and technologies found at CES 2015.Colin NeagleMon, 12 Jan 2015 10:43:16 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/slideshow/563641/pictures-best-ces-2015/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Stream 11 laptophttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/stream-11/560950/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIt's not an expensive laptop, and it's not a boring one either. HP's Stream 11 (named so because of its 11in screen size) has jumped into the laptop scene with splash of colour and an overall list of features that make it a nice pick-up if you're a student or, indeed, anyone after a small, yet budget notebook.Elias PlastirasWed, 03 Dec 2014 14:50:39 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/stream-11/560950/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Pro Tablet 610 G1 Windows tablethttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/pro-tablet-610-g1/559562/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP's Pro Tablet 610 G1 is a 10.1in slate that's geared towards small business users who need a highly mobile tablet device that can run regular Windows software. HP's goal with this tablet was to bring 64-bit capability to the market at an affordable price. Affordable is a relative term, though, and the asking price of $749 might not be enticing enough considering a Surface Pro 3 can be bought for just over a couple of hundred dollars more, and provide much more.Elias PlastirasThu, 13 Nov 2014 15:53:17 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/hp/pro-tablet-610-g1/559562/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIn Pictures: 2014’s biggest Cloud deals (so far)http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/slideshow/558976/pictures-2014-biggest-cloud-deals-far/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThe most important cloud acquisitions this year have one thing in common: OpenStack.Nancy GohringThu, 06 Nov 2014 09:01:27 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/slideshow/558976/pictures-2014-biggest-cloud-deals-far/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP's Omen laptop seeks gaming cred with hot hardware that runs coolhttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/558829/hp-omen-laptop-seeks-gaming-cred-hot-hardware-runs-cool/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedWith the new Omen gaming laptops, HP is throwing down its gauntlet in the brutally competitive PC gaming market. Again, that is -- after buying and eventually laying to rest the Voodoo gaming PC brand a few years ago.
